SOMEONE'S BEEN PASSING ON GOVERNMENT INTEL TO THE ENEMY, AND THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED FAST.

And hence, Cirinique Diao, spy and debutante has been put on the case. With her fellow students at Lady Kuroki's School for Girls, they head to their native Sai with a top Arecian agent in tow. But this mole is elusive and skilled, leaving behind webs and webs of lies for them to untangle, and Ciri is left unsure what to do.

Laurence Dumont is equally perplexed. But when the body count starts adding up and the Bone Court of Sai becomes as treacherous and dangerous as the rumours claim, they'll have to pool together everything they have to prevent a global crisis that would change the world as they know it.

(book #2 of 2 in the sable sisters duology, can be read as standalone)

When Lady Kuroki's esteemed students are dispatched to a house party in a faraway manor to root out a potential Meliquean spy, Lady Asteria Lu isn't sure what to expect. The guests are powerful and eccentric, but none of them seem particularly traitorous. Then comes a soldier who clearly knew more than he was pretending to, constantly getting in her way. Coincidence, or is he the very agent she's searching for? Maximilian Harlande's life was a good deal simpler before he became a spy. Certainly, back then, he wouldn't be caught dead running around a house party with a Novokulugan agent attached to his hip. But he has a mission to complete, and the cunning Lady Asteria Lu refuses to let him do his job in peace. Fine. So be it. May the best spy win. (Book One of the Lady Kuroki's School for Girls trilogy)

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED. Highest rank # 1 in Mystery/Thriller! Written on Wattpad and now published worldwide in print and eBook (in ePub and Kindle) at the usual retailers! Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

A SHIP JOURNEY & A TALE OF TREASON After an unfortunate string of accidents delay their voyage to Arecia, General Justine Lan and her Arecian counterpart, Gabriel Stoneworth, are forced to travel together in the week-long journey. Rather unfortunately, the two had detested each other from the moment they'd met. Sometimes they couldn't even remember what had started the avid dislike. Perhaps it was each other's attitudes. Perhaps it was because they clearly were playing at different games here. Or perhaps it just couldn't be explained. But no matter. They just needed to survive their journey to Arecia. Fortunately, they're accompanied by old friends: the Earl and Countess of Farnsworth, Marcus and Cassalyn; and the Viscount and Viscountess of Archsham, Laurence and Ciri. Except... someone seems to be after them. Turns out, the ship they're travelling holds information of treason and tales of betrayal, and someone wants to silence them before they could pass anything on. But surely, with two battle-experienced generals and four spies, nothing could go wrong?
